The sub indices included air quality and pollution, water quality andavailability, land use and agriculture, forests and biodiversity, waste management, energymanagement, health impact, population pressure and environmental budget.WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 2012 OBSERVED ACROSS THE WORLDThe world community observed the World Environment Day (WED) on 5 June 2012. The WorldEnvironment Day is observed every year on 5 June to raise public awareness on the issuesrelated to global environment. The World Environment Day activities keep going on throughoutthe year, but culminate on 5 June every year.Theme for the World Environment Day 2012 is: Green Economy: Does it include you? The hostfor World Environment Day 2012 wasthe Federative Republic of Brazil.Theme for the World EnvironmentDay 2011 was Forests-Nature At YourService and India was the global hostfor the year's events.World Environment Day 2012 is the40th edition of the global. The UNGeneral Assembly started observingthe day in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment.Green economy widely refers to an economic situation where the economic developments takeplace without hurting the environment. In the green economy the income of people is driven bythe private and public investments which helps in the reduction of carbon emissions andpollution and stimulates energy and resource efficiency, and ultimately helps in the preventionof loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGYWhat does Green Economy means?As per the definition of United Nations EnvironmentProgramme (UNEP), a Green Economy is 'one that results inimproved human well-being and social equity, whilesignificantly reducing environmental risks and ecologicalscarcities.'SCIENTISTS DEVELOPED NEW TECHNIQUEFOR EARLY DETECTION OF AUTISMIn a path breaking development, a team of scientists atBOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL invented an easytechnique that will help doctors to diagnoses autism inchildren earlier. The pioneering technique will pave theway for an early detection and better treatment of thebrain disorder in young children.

Current Affairs PDF June 2012 Page 75new technique was published in JOURNAL BMC MEDICINE on 26 June 2012.The technique uses EEG scalp scanning equipment used for decades to diagnose epilepsy tospot weaknesses in the brain’s wiring. The researchers who carried out tests on more than 1000children aged between two and 12 years found that it was up to 90 per cent accurate indetecting the disease.Every two in 1000 children worldwide is suffering from Autism. The symptoms of the diseasevary from child to child, however, the disease have some very common and invariablecharacteristics like difficulty with social interaction, difficulty with communication and a needfor routine and repetitive behavior. Since there is no permanent cure of the disease, patientsare usually treated by a combination of speech, behavioral and other therapies. Diagnosis ofautism is more often a lengthy and complicated process and the average child is not diagnoseduntil the age of five and a half.INDIAN SCIENTIST GOT US PATENT FOR CANCER TREATMENTIn a pioneering innovation, the nanotechnology scientist, Rao Papineni and his colleaguesinvented a cancer treatment system in which a nano-particle carries the payload of anti-cancerdrug and releases it only in the cancerous cell, thus protecting healthy cells around. The newlyinvented system got patented in the USA on 19 June 2012.The title of the patent is ‘High Capacity Non-Viral Vectors.’ The non-viral vectors are nanoparticles.The nano-particles will allow the drug particle to target the diseased site with pinpointprecision. The nano-particles will allow the drug to be released inside the diseased cell. Theywill enhance the function of the drug. The nano-particles will carry the drug precisely withminimal collateral damage to healthy tissue. Papineni, along with his fellow researchers appliedfor the patent in 2009. Papineni is presently the chief scientist and senior principal investigatorin medical applications of nanotechnology at Carestream Health, Inc USA.IBM’S SEQUOIA DECLARED FASTEST COMPUTER IN THE WORLDSequoia, the US super computer, was crownedthe fastest computer in the world on 17 June2012. Situated at Lawrence Livermore NationalLaboratory in California, Sequoia is able to make16.32 quadrillion calculations per second (16.32petaflops/s). Developed by IBM, thesupercomputer belongs from IBM’s BlueGenefamily, which runs on Power processors, chipsthat are made at IBM’s plant in East Fishkill.The powerful Supercomputing System Sequoia help the United States keep its nuclear stockpilesafe, secure and effective without the need for underground testing. The U.S. is the topconsumer of high-performance systems. With 253 of 500 systems US holds the highest share ofwww.jagranjosh.comPage75Current Affairs PDF June 2012
